so here is what i got out of the presentation.

1. wii U tablet gamepad to indeed have proper analog including being clickable.  good stuff.

2. the RFID rumor was indeed true

3. Iwata said you'll be able to "enjoy your games from anywhere in your living room you are most comfortable" which implied to me games are fully streamed and therefore tethered to the console.  not unexpected but dismisses a few rumors i would think.

4. no mention of supporting a 2nd wii U gamepad.  while not direct confirmation it is a pretty conspicuous absence imo for a presentation specifically about wii U's hardware capabilities.

5. wii U pro controller (pretty much a 360 controller).  unexpected for sure.  i don't remember any rumors around that.

6. BB, wiimote, nun-chuck support.  classic controller not mentioned although not too unexpected following 5.  motion plus not explictly mentioned either but i'm not sure that means anything.

6. miiverse.  imo it looks exactly like the messaging system used in demon's/dark souls.  i'll say the messaging does to a lot for those games but they also restrict what is said.  as iwata said, spoilers seems like an obvious issue.

7. miiverse integration with web devices.  i got really excited for a second when i saw the smartphones but basically this means the nintendo netword will have a web component like live and psn.

8. "facetime".  nintendo better be careful ... this will be a pedo dream.

opinion wise:

the number of perhiphrials already seems daunghting; wii gamepad, wii mote, nun chuck, balance board, pro controller.  i know BC is included with the wii  but i'm already down a wii mote and the amount of space needed is a lot.  

the nintendo network seems a bit more feature rich than i was expecting.  still, miiverse is probably going to be pretty bare bones from what i personally expect MS to announce.  having the second screen will certainly have it's advantage though.

anyways, awaiting the games.  i want to see it's graphical capabilities.  so far not great, not bad.

The number 5 I kind of expected. Since they want multiplayer ports from the other consoles and giving them an actual full functional controller can be seen as a compremise of having multiple Upad, it is the same controller but cheeper because it doesn't have the screen and doesn't need to use as much of the system resources. Yeah the proctroller kind of eliminated the need for the Classic controller opition.
